Van Marcus Needs Two-Outer For Aces To Hold

[user57954]

An interesting pot has just developed between Van Marcus and Marlou Yap. Marcus raised from early position to 3,000 with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

and was re-raised to 6,500 by Yap who held {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

. It was folded back around to Marcus who re-raised to 17,000 and Yap made the call.

The flop of {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

was disasterous for Marcus, but Yap just smooth called the 7,000 bet from Marcus.

The turn then put Marcus back in the lead when he hit the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

, one of the two remaining aces in the deck. Marcus pushed all in and Yap made the call but cringed when he discovered what had just unfolded.

The {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

was no help for Yap, and Marcus earns a tidy 55,000 chip pot.
